It would be a good debug tool if either VDR or vdradmin stores the EPG data (history data not just the new data) for later usage. Of course the file would be large but that would be a good tool when reporting to the broadcast companies if their EPG is not correct.
I think it should be VDR that would create the history file. Its VDR that creates the file and removes entrys from it, isn't it. It could also be some kind of setting for how old data would be stored and possibly for which channels. The problem I think would be how to present the history data because of possible changes in the EPG data itself. There could be an error in the data for many days and in some point it would be corrected and
How about using a cvs repository? The problem would be of course then _when_ to make a check-in. Perhaps a diff with the current epg.data and the latest check-out would be made and if it differs, a new check-in would be made...
EPG data repository would be for debugging anyway, so I do not really know about user interfacing.
